Akkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Finally saw Napoleon Dynamite. The whole experience was rather swanky. It was an outdoor movie showing in a parking lot in an odd section of town. A bring your own chair and snacky bits sort of setting. I actually enjoyed it more than a conventional theater. No one tried to hog my arm rest, I could bring my own food, and the film was projected on to the side of a building, which meant that it was high enough that I could see it even if a parent held a kid on their shoulders through the entire thing. Except that now my husband won't stop saying "gosh!"

We took a break from our usual Ghibli fest tonight to watch Shaun of the Dead. I mostly rented it for Dylan Moran but really liked it as a whole. It was just off enough for me to love the humor. I know next to squat about Zombie movies in general and I was still entertained. I can't imagine what fans of Night of the Living Dead or Evil Dead might think.

It was odd to see Dylan Moran play such a different character than Bernard Black in Black Books. He wasn't nearly as charming and sexy. Damn! ;)

Well, I'm back at a movie theatre, so it's more film watchin' for me.

Herbie: Fully Loaded.- I saw this a little over a week ago and I actually kind of liked it. Lindsey is annoying as hell and if you can get past her, you're home free. I found it had quite a bit of that Love Bug style in it for such a contempory setting. Matt Dillion is hysterical in it. I was thought they should have used the Something About Mary teeth, which would have been a scream. All in all, it was pretty good. If you've got some spare change and some time, check it out in the theatre, but I think it will work fine on DVD.

BATMAN BEGINS - 5000 times better than the last 3. Great performances and directing. The writing was very good, but I really missed the design of Gotham from the first Burton film. I think that would have made it an A+ for me.

WAR OF THE WORLDS - Special Effects - nothing else and whatever else Gn2Dld said.

Just bought a couple excellent DVDs.
BIG FISH - Saw it several times in the Theatre. Poster is on my wall. One of the best from that year.

Chicago - Earth, Wind & Fire- Live at the Greek. I was at that show and now it's on DVD. If you get the opportunity to rent it, it is totally incredible. Just an amazing show. The best concert I've ever been at.

Whee! Love at First Bite finally came out on DVD on the 12th and my copy arrived today!

"Captain Blood." I had never seen it before, which is kind of shocking because I'm big fan of pirates. It was a great movie. I will certainly watch this one again. This was the movie that mad swashbuckling films popular.

You should keep your eyes on the screen. :evil: ;)

Agh, I've seen a lot of movies but I can't remember the names!!

But, I finally did see 'The Machinist'. That was pretty darn awesome. I believe the lead character is the lead from 'Batman Begins'?

Ahhh, movies. What are those again?

Between DL's BD and Le Tour de France, I've been occupied. Now that Lance is retired on a high note and I'm a bit tired of DL, maybe we'll actually catch some films in and out of the theater.
